New research from @_FionaScott and team @EducationSheff, published today with @LEGO_Group and @UNICEF has found that if designed with children in mind, video games can provide a range of wellbeing benefits🎮

This is why you shouldn’t feel guilty about letting your child play video games.🎮
My latest research at @sheffielduni has shown that digital play can actually be good for children’s well-being.
Here are three reasons your child may benefit from playing video games. 🧵 1/5
ALT Two young girls and a woman (their Mum) sit in the kitchen playing Minecraft on their tablets (girls) and laptop (Mum). The older girl is high-fiving her Mum and the younger girl is laughing. Behind them, you can see their digital game play within Minecraft - three avatars are interacting with a Minecraft pig.
